Question: Are you trying to limit our sexual activity? WDL is so powerful that my d*ck looks insignificant. Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on January 12 2012, 10:56pm Reply on January 13 2012, 1:43am: Reducing overpopulation one line of code at a time... Seriously though, thank you, but you exaggerate a bit. :) Comment... Question: Please publish your cd-key/licensing module.. that would be great! Maybe a side project for you? Pretty-please! Asked by Poop (67.88.171.x) on January 12 2012, 9:00pm Reply on January 13 2012, 1:42am: Erm, maybe someday, but I've got a billion other things to do first. Comment...

Asked by Poop (67.88.171.x) on January 10 2012, 6:07pm Reply on January 11 2012, 6:28pm: Hmm, just grab libtomcrypt, and do some basic signed keys using RSA or EC, and base64 or base16 encode the data, and include some smart parsing and whatnot... I'd publish ours, but it's a bit crap, tbh. Comment... Question: Would you be willing to write a blog post about your work ethic, from the early days until now? Asked by Will (24.234.206.x) on January 9 2012, 9:56pm Reply on January 11 2012, 6:29pm: Not sure how interesting that'd be.. it would be summarized as "if you want to use the thing you're making, and have friends who use it and complain when you break shit, and obsess about enjoying the process, you'll work your ass of making it something good." Comment... Question: want to buy a book at around 300-400p. Any recommendations? the topic can be anything, but I would prefer something light&funny.

Question: Not being a money centred person, how do you feel receiving a large amount of money (i.e >$26k/yr) has benefited you/society? Asked by tyz10 (90.196.187.x) on January 4 2012, 12:50pm Reply on January 6 2012, 4:43pm: How has it benefited me? Well, I've had plenty of experiences I wouldn't have had otherwise (though who knows what experiences I gave up as a result...). Having flexibility in my work schedule has allowed me to make software that people enjoy using, which I enjoy and society may arguably benefit from.. so there's that sort of thing. Generally, though, I don't think I'm any happier than if I was making $26k/year, I just have very different things to complain about. Comment...

Question: If I pay for winamp these days, will you get any money? Asked by Roben (108.45.70.x) on December 31 2011, 4:47am Reply on January 2 2012, 12:43am: No. Comment...

Asked by Rodrigo (189.114.198.x) on December 27 2011, 8:52pm Reply on December 29 2011, 2:13am: I do everything in multibyte character set, but use UTF-8 (via WDL's win32_utf8.h wrapper) for character encodings (so our stuff will work on win9x etc).

Comment... Question: I use icc (big deal) but lately I'm very skeptical about performance on non-intel cpus. cpu dispatcher, Is it fair for the user? Asked by gio (62.103.65.x) on December 23 2011, 3:32pm Reply on December 23 2011, 9:49pm: I haven't done exhaustive tests, but I believe the following to be the case: ICC produces code that is a lot faster on Intel CPUs, when compared to both VC6 and VC2005, though the gains are a bit less when VC2005 has SSE2 enabled (but that of course requires a non-ancient CPU). ICC produces code that is a lot faster on AMD CPUs, when compared to VC6 or VC2005 (when the latter has SSE2 disabled). ICC vs VC2005/SSE2 on AMD CPUs, that I'm not so sure about. My experiences are based on ICC 10.x, I should mention, which is old. Comment... Question: What cell phone u use?
